Hello All. I just love this style and really just wanted it to shine.
It reminded me of hot sultry weather so the lyrics went the same way.
All comments welcome. Rob

The Day Is Hot

The day is hot, the sun keeps beating on the ground.
The day is hot, I feel the sweat apon my brow.

Chorus
Try to quench my thirst chug a cold beer down.
I'm feeling so parched there's no relief around

Bridge

The day is young I see my skin is turning brown.
The day is young the humid heat is so profound.

Chorus
Try to quench my thirst chug a cold beer down.
I'm feeling so parched there's no relief around

Nicely done - very nice use of the style and a very good vocal track and composition to go with it.
Nice vocal echoes.

Some good sweat in that style, so I think you wrote and sung a good one with it.

Hello Rob ..

Man, this is just so cool (and hot!). Love the sparseness of the lyric - gives the tracks opportunities to shine. And your vocal, as always, is superb. The mix sets so nice in my ears.

Love the response calls at the end - great idea and execution! Loved this! Wishing you the very best ...
